NEET SCAM
16 MBBS students are yet to submit their fingerprints

The NEET impersonation scam just got bigger, after it emerged that at least 16 MBBS students of deemed universities are yet to submit their fingerprints to CB-CID for identity verification.
When the matter was taken up by a division bench of Madras high court on Thursday for further hearing, it was submitted that at least two of the students who have not given their fingerprints are “bedridden due to viral fever” and two others are “out of station”.
A student of Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute has applied for anticipatory bail, instead of submitting his fingerprints.
A bench comprising Justice N Kirubakaran and Justice P Velmurugan has now asked police to verify if students attending the colleges had written NEET 2019 examinations. Since September, CB-CID police have arrested five students suspected of impersonation in this year’s NEET.
On Thursday, advocates of at least six deemed universities conceded before the bench that some of their students could not submit fingerprints.
Meanwhile, CBI counsel K Srinivasan said the Chennai zone of CBI has received two complaints from Chennai and one complaint from Kochi, Kerala. Two complaints received from Chennai were referred to the Medical Council of India and the Union health ministry. The complaint received from Kochi is presently under CBI scrutiny, he said.
Two students from Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital were “out of station” and Chettinad Medical College said two students were bedridden due to fever.
Besides these, there were six students from Sri Sathya Sai Medical College and Research Institute, two from SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Institute and three others from Meenakshi Medical College and Research Institute. Special government pleader J Pothiraj said the students will appear before CB-CID for submission of fingerprints before the next hearing.
This apart, the CB-CID informed the court that it would require at least 90 days to verify the fingerprints for impersonation. Wondering why the agency needs so many days to verify the samples in this digital era, the bench posted the plea to November 21 for further hearing.
Earlier, M Velmurugan, counsel for a student, said his client had obtained 303 marks in NEET, whereas except seven students, the other students who got admission under the NRI lapsed quota in private medical colleges have got less marks than him. A candidate admitted under NRI lapsed quota got 107 marks only.
“There is no transparency in the admission under NRI lapsed quota and the private medical colleges have not followed the guidelines as laid down by the Supreme Court,” Velmurugan said.
